yes, too easy and the wrong answer.
The name is actually the longest city name on earth and is Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit.
Which means " the city of angels, the great city, the residence of the Emerald Buddha, the impregnable city ( unlike Ayutthaya) of God Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious gems, the happy city, abounding in an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra, and built by Vishnukarn.
The Thai people usually call it Krung Thep Maka Nakhon or just Krung Thep.
Only ignorant foreigners call it Bangkok which hasn't been used as a name for the city in Thailand for more than 200 years.
Trips off the tongue doesn't it?

Chopsticks and Change

I Like to go out with men from Bangkok,
They are such handsome guys;
Some even want to marry me but
I'm not ready for permanent Thais

There was an Armadillo in my back yard Saturday morning, but my dog chased him off before I could get my phone to take a photo.
Sorry. It would have been nice with the recent talks about them.
Yes but never mind, Adam left earlier to sleep with the ones in his room - but only in a platonic way - I hope!
